[PATCH] registry: Make RegisterExtensionNames slightly less inefficient

Adam Jackson ajax at redhat.com
Wed Nov 13 11:06:03 PST 2013


The big change is to defer strdup until we actually know the line
matches the extension we're initializing.  This cuts the number of calls
to strdup on this path from 24090 to 554, and 'Xvfb -pogo' drops from
about 45M to 38M instructions retired according to valgrind.
